It was dark early in winter, and Shi Jun knew that Cheng Wanyu was most afraid of the dark. Originally, she was not afraid, but after a certain thrill, she became very afraid.

So whenever night falls, when Shi Jun has not returned home, Xiaocui will light up the front yard and the back yard. Occasionally, Shi Jun was not at home, and lanterns were lit in the yard all night.

As soon as it was dark today, Xiaocui led Xiaohong to light lanterns everywhere. The front yard is fine, as long as you don't reach out and don't see your fingers, hang one every short distance.

The backyard is not good, there are lights in the wings, and there are lanterns hanging on both sides of the courtyard. Xiaohong looked at the two rows of eight lanterns dumbfounded, a little incredulous.

"This is too exaggerated, you can write and read books in the yard!"

Xiao Cui nodded: "It's just a little bit of effort, and when the wind is strong in the second half of the night, it should be blown out." When my uncle wasn't at home, the young lady's house was lit up all day long. ”

Xiaohong said clearly: "After that, my uncle is not at home, so I will sleep in the outhouse with Miss!" ”

The lantern was hung up, and the door outside the door rang. Xiao Cui reported Shi Jun and hurriedly ran to the front to open the door.

Xiaohong knew from Xiaocui's mouth that there was something wrong with the guest's daughter, and hid in the kitchen and didn't come out again.

Everyone came together and thanked the Shi family and the husband and wife. They were separated from the front and back courts, as before. It was dark, and the children of the Gao family and the Chen family were sent to the Xie family to be taken care of by Mrs. Xie.

Cheng Wanyu nodded and commanded Xiao Cui loudly: "Send some food to the old lady of the Xie family in a while, don't let the old lady get angry and cook again!" ”

led everyone around the kitchen and into the backyard, only to see a bright spot like daylight. The tall sister-in-law saw that there were eight lanterns in two rows, and the wings on both sides were also brilliantly lit.

"No wonder I saw you at home and lit these waxes. Oops, hey. Didn't you eat in your house, and spend all this money on what you do! Everyone thought that Cheng Wanyu was showing off, but she was just a little and didn't explain anymore.

Entering the hall, there was a round table, and Cheng Wanyu invited everyone to sit down. let Xiaocui serve the food, and he sat on the main seat to greet everyone.

After a while, Xiaocui walked in. One person carries three food boxes, one carrying a food bucket containing dishes and chopsticks.

Seeing the strange Xiaohong, everyone was a little surprised, and the tall sister-in-law had no scruples when she was familiar with Cheng Wanyu: "Who is this little girl?" Why haven't I seen it in your house? ”

Cheng Wanyu said with a smile: "This is also my dowry girl, and she was asked to live in my mother's house because the family was small and there was nothing big about it." ”

Chen Bingyi's family sneered: "Your family is still young? Then our house is not a pig's nest? ”

Xie Zhi'an's family gently pushed her, and Chen Bingyi's family immediately knew that he had said something he shouldn't have said. He just smiled wryly, lowered his head and decided not to say anything more.

"The style of the Shi family's sister is from everyone at a glance. This yard is a big mansion on our side. But what is it in Huaizhou Mansion! After speaking, I inquired about Cheng Wanyu's mother's house, and I asked several times before, but I was interrupted.

Cheng Wanyu has the heart to stand up in front of everyone today, knowing that this group of people has always used wealth and wealth to divide people into high and low. He no longer hid it, and said with a generous smile: "My mother's family has a large population, and there are eight brothers in law. There are countless brothers, brothers, and sisters. I don't know how many. ”

Everyone was surprised, and the sister-in-law didn't believe this and quipped: "How can anyone not know how many people there are in the family?" Your mother is able to give birth to nine of your brothers and sisters. It's just that you still have concubines in your family? ”

Cheng Wanyu nodded: "Of course there is, but I haven't seen most of them, and I don't know how many there are!" ”

Chen Bingyi's family felt incredible, and Xie Zhi'an's family asked while watching Xiaocui and Xiaohong serve the food, "Why don't you know?" Generally, in large families, the aunt has to ask the housemother to say goodbye! ”

Cheng Wanyu said with a smile: "The rule of our family is that the concubines and concubines do not go to the family tree, and my mother is generous and does not ask the aunts to go to the province in the morning and dusk." She can't take care of her own children, and she doesn't have the leisure to serve her concubines. ”

Ma Mingyue also sneered and sarcastically when she spoke: Countryman. It is to be able to give birth like a breeding pig.

This will be a little surprising when listening to Cheng Wanyu's breezy words. You must know that it costs money to feed children, and there are nine children in the in-laws. That concubine has to say less? I have to say Cheng Wanyu's father's body. It's really enviable.

"Say what do my brothers do? They have already started a family, and even have grandchildren. What are you polite, eat quickly. The weather is cold, and it doesn't taste good when it's cold! Cheng Wanyu took the lead in picking up chopsticks and eating a piece of cold bamboo shoots.

"Hey, this. Can you still buy bamboo shoots in this winter? Sister-in-law Gao sat next to Cheng Wanyu and saw her clipping a chopstick bamboo shoot into her mouth. He shouted in surprise. So he reached out and grabbed a chicken leg.

Roasted pheasant with chestnut, steamed duck stuffed with wine, braised goose breast with lotus leaves, ginger fish fillet, spicy hoof tendons, salted loin, crispy quail, mutton hot pot. The eight meat dishes have already made the sister-in-law Gao who was present such as Chen Bingyi's family lose their temper, and these eight meat dishes will cost at least ten taels if you roughly calculate it. Because it's not a table. This is a table with three tables for male and female dolls.

Even during the Chinese New Year, they had never spent so much money on these things. Flying in the sky, swimming in the water, and running on the road are all complete.

Then Xiaocui and Xiaohong brought eight vegetarian dishes and four dried fruit snacks. Ma Mingyue, who has always been above the top and consciously higher than others, lost her temper, and sat there honestly to eat without saying anything.

No way, candied dried fruits are so expensive. Even her mother won't ask for it a few times a year, not to mention that she has never eaten candied golden dates and almond bergamot when she is so old.

Garlic sprouts, leeks, and celery She already knew that Cheng Wanyu was serving at home. Whether it's bamboo shoots or lotus roots, it's not necessarily so unusual. It's just that she, Ma Mingyue, doesn't have the courage to spend so much money to buy a banquet.

Thinking about the Shi Jun outside who seems to be completely ignorant of general affairs, and then look at the "complacent" and somewhat "ignorant" Cheng Wanyu here.

Ma Mingyue felt that she must have deliberately slapped her swollen face to become fat in order to please a man. Thinking of this, she put down her chopsticks. With a chuckle, Chen Bingyi's family immediately raised their heads.

I saw Ma Mingyue say softly: "I heard that Mrs. Ding has already made a profit, and she will give us the profit in the next two days!" ”

Chen Bingyi's eyes widened, and he was so excited that he didn't even sip the chicken head. Also forgot about the etiquette, just like at home. Holding the chicken head in his mouth, he spit it out in his own bowl regardless of the "spit".

I didn't see Cheng Wanyu's face frozen instantly, and the obvious consternation in Ma Mingyue's eyes. She asked excitedly: "I gave five taels of silver at the beginning, how much profit can I give this time?" ”

Ma Mingyue didn't answer, but threw out another piece of good news: "I can make a few more bucks by putting Yinzi, I discussed it with Mrs. Ding." The two of us want to open a restaurant together, which is in Huaizhou Mansion, and the foot is good and the flow of people is also large! ”

Xie Zhi'an's family was taken aback, and instinctively doubted: "What kind of money can you have?" ”

Ma Mingyue waited for this sentence: "My mother's house in Huaizhou City has been demolished, and my mother's house has been divided into a two-story shop according to the original land boundary." ”

Only then did Cheng Wanyu know that what Steward Fan said was true. The shop in that area was really built. (To be continued)

ps: I checked the information in September, and there were also demolitions in ancient times...... And the regulations are similar to those of modern times、、、、 but there were almost no nail households in ancient times...... R655
